Exhaustion runs circles under my eyes.
A full, vibrant now it is, and what remains
of Black Water Dragon
is quickly beginning to slip away.
She's a slippery one, this beast.
Diving below the recesses, her head emerging in various
parts of the shifting terrain, keeping up is no longer an intellectual option.
In fact, it's merely a disguise - this mind. It knows not and it certainly isn't "me."
This warm, pumping heart, however, keeps my body moving forward.
A Divine Instrument, it sings and harmonizes all of its own accord.
I'm not doing anything. I'm simply listening and responding.
The Universe channels through
this Me.
I feel, therefore
I AM.
Descartes was wrong all along.
Releasing, letting go and purging. I don't need any answers.
The desire for outcomes and the forcing of a way recedes,
and what remains is always the same.
It's a mystery.
We are free to explore the myriad of possibilities.
Because certainly it makes life more interesting,
feeding this child-like curiosity of wonder and awe.
Practice this as a tool for spiritual fulfillment
and you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Come now, for you don't have much more time ~
your window of wide open opportunity is beginning to shut.
Take advantage, seize the moment, the spotlight is here for you to shine.
You don't need to know why. Or how.
Just feel that you already are
special, magnificent and beautiful.
Flow forward and just be
with me.
Because I Love You.
Scorpio New Moon, Total Solar Eclipse, SuperMoonTuesday,
November 13, 3:09 PM MST
(10:09 PM Greenwich Mean Time)
Sun and
Moon in Scorpio 21º
With this New Moon, we enter the last six weeks – the home stretch,
of 2012. We enter an eclipse portal with a total solar eclipse now at
New Moon and a partial lunar eclipse at Full Moon at the end of the
month. As a SuperMoon, every effect is strengthened, as the Moon is
closest to the Earth and in exact alignment with the Sun/Moon. The Moon
passes between the Earth and the Sun during solar eclipses essentially
blocking out the Sun's electro-magnetic and radiant energies that are
vital to life and allowing a momentary empty moment that can clear and
reset our energetic bodies. Anything can happen; release takes place. We
realign to this present moment. The universe is offering you an empty
vehicle to fill with whatever you want to let go of.
The month is shifty. Three planets change direction. Mars changes
signs. Mercury, as you may have noticed, is retrograde (Nov 7-27)
allowing weeks of loose connections to realign in new ways (or just
tangle around your ankles). Mercury, too, changes signs on 11/14
retrograding back into Scorpio. We just can't move forward in our usual
ways with the Messenger and Communication planet looking backwards over
his shoulder, although our inner networks just might expand in ways we
hadn't imagined.
Neptune and Chiron turn direct Nov 10 and 14 having been retrograde
since early June. Reflect on how active our collective unconscious
(Neptune) has been since June and how much healing you have experienced
since that time. Old stories and issues that hold our magnificent
expression in check rise up into our faces and cannot/will not be
denied. Saturn is benevolently working with Neptune to dissolve our deep
emotional inadequacies and limitations. An exact square from Mercury to
Neptune in the New Moon Chart is making it difficult to focus on the
purely logical, forward-moving aspects of life. So there may be some
frustration as we lean toward the strong pull of the emotional centers
and the desire to take time to listen to our intuitive inner voices for
direction and guidance.
Scorpio is traditionally ruled by the fiery, aggressive
action-oriented Mars and ruled in the modern era by transformative,
depth loving, psychologically powerful Pluto. Mars, in this chart, is
aligned exactly with our Galactic Center (27º Sagittarius). Because the
Black Hole at the Galactic Center emitting powerful forms of
electromagnetic energy and absorbing equally massive amounts of energy
is aligned with our most physical archetype, Mars, huge shifts in
consciousness can be absorbed by this masculine planet and old forms
released. This eclipse along the Great Female Dragon Line that
circumnavigates the planet mirrors the eclipse of May 20, 2012 that
crossed the Great Male Dragon Lei Line at Mt. Fuji and Mt. Shasta.
Huge emphasis is upon the Scorpio archetype. Sun, Moon, Eclipse,
Mercury, North Node, Saturn. Scorpio calls in the big mysteries of life:
death, transformation, intimacy, sexuality, union with something
greater than ourselves. Saturn in Scorpio for the next two years will
push us to confront and free what we would normally avoid – places where
we are vulnerable, raw, where we have no control, and where our ego is
most fragile. Scorpio also holds the opportunity for deep surrender and
rebirthing yourself in a powerful new way.
Be ruthless with choking off your old story, wah, wah, wah...
Be disciplined about letting go of associated wounds, raw deals and
scenarios where you lost personal power. Drop what you're dragging from
the last century that most of you were born in (unless you're under 12
years old). Feed your heart with whatever makes it swell with love and
courage. Transformation is shamanic work. Facing the dark; surrender;
strengthening your essential core; gaining personal power. You are
participating in one of the most monumental transitional times ever
experienced on the planet. Now through 2015 the heat is really on. We
all must be as fresh, alive, conscious as we possibly can be to channel
what is asked of us and to stand grounded and spiritually connected (to
source and each other) in the face of the acceleration of the times.
Saturn was in Scorpio in the 'Roaring 20's' (1923-26) when Victorian
sexual repression was freed with abandon. 1953-56 Saturn in Scorpio
brought us birth control, Playboy magazine, the Kinsey report. Those of
you born in those years will be experiencing your second Saturn return,
and those of you born 1983-85, we welcome you to astrological adulthood
and your first Saturn return. The Lord of Karma, Saturn, has made one
full revolution around your natal chart exposing you to the full panoply
of influences in your life and now 'returns' to its original place in
your chart.
Keep an eye on the week before Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse on 11/28. The
Uranus-Pluto square remains very active and is being triggered by Mars
during that time. This can be very disruptive energy and can trigger
aggressive actions or power struggles especially where there has been
resistance to change or egos feel like they have been denied.
Hopefully we can utilize this time for constructive end of the year
projects.
Earmark the next six weeks until the end of the year, to personally
become as conscious and loving and open as you can be. We have the
collective power to diminish the need to trigger a catastrophic event
like we saw Hurricane Sandy do to bring this country together and wake
it up to cooperation.
P.S. The total eclipse is only visible over the most northern part of
Australia, most of it takes place over the southern Pacific Ocean
